:nod: That, I do. I just don't want to stay out there too too long. Ya know....earthquakes and all.

Well, I moved to SF two days before the '89 earthquake. And even though I missed one of the OTOSM shows because of it, that was 17 years ago. And I'm fine. If it's not an earthquake, then it's a hurricane, or it's a tornado, or it's a bus crash, or it's cancer. In other words...live the way you want to live. Maybe you're joking above and this is unnecessary....

Why are you secluded? I miss you. I have so many questions.

About strained relationships?
About fame as only he could explain it to [you]?

Sorry, I was in a funk last night. I thought I was being encouraging but failed pretty miserably! :lol:

I wish I could use that as my excuse, but it's actually because I was "drunk". :o

Curtis, you are young enough and have the right attitude, that you really can't go wrong by doing the travel nurse thing. You will be just fine and with your personality, you will wind up with close friends all around the country. When I was your age, my dream was to live in London. I never did it and I regret it.

Hope you wind up in California for one of your gigs. :wavey:

Curty, I say go for it. the post you wrote could have been my exact words of how I feel. and it gets so effin depressing sometimes. I mean, I know how you feel...that's what I'm trying to say. I truly do. and I have no opportunity really to do what you can do. I'm stuck with too much responsibility. I have no doubt your nursing skills are top notch...but don't worry if they aren't, it's nothing you can't learn. you will have a blast.

let's look at some of your "what ifs":
What if that doesn't happen?
- it will happen for sure. you can't stay huddled up in your house. you have to make a little effort.
What if I want to come back here, but my job will be gone?
- then you'll find another
What if I get really homesick?
- it'll pass. use the phone, write emails.
What if my parents become ill?
- you can't worry about things like this (I know it's hard). deal with it when it happens.
What if my jobs suck and are difficult to handle?
- you can!
What if it's me that needs to change and not my enviroment?
- child...I wonder the same thing. but I'm too perfect to think I need to change. :nod:

I just had to come out of seclusion for you. now, I must return. until next time my dears.
